Sharp has unveiled its new AQUOS S2 smartphone featuring a notched top bezel along the lines of the expected design for the iPhone 8.
The latest SHARP AQUOS S2 applies FFD (Free Form Display) technology to dig small holes precisely in the screen for the front camera and receiver, so it offers great user experiences for selfies and excellent audio quality. Its screen-to-body ratio is as high as 84.95%, which makes the 5.5-inch display screen feel like a 5-inch screen body while being held. The excellent visual effect and comfortable grip will provide unprecedented user experience for customers.
"The core of full screen design is to break through the technology limit, achieve the double sense of holding and visual comfort, and provide the ultimate experience for users," said Dr. Luo Zhongsheng, CEO of SHARP/InFocus Mobile.
The Sharp AQUOS S2 will be available in China starting August 14th starting at ¥2499. It features a Snapdragon 630 processor 4GB or 6GB of RAM, 64GB or 128GB of storage, and a 3020mAh battery.

I don’t see what the big issue is with the notch it’s better than the massive bezels currently.

It’s making usable space out of something wasted before. With black status bar it looks great and let’s the entire screen below the notch be used w/o being wasted on status bars.

I really hope the notch doesn’t become a trend because it looks bad.
